In particular we solicit replicability papers, which repeat prior experiments to show how, why, and when the methods work (or not), and reproducibility papers, which repeat prior experiments in new contexts (e.g., different time, location, access device, task) to further generalize and validate (or not) previous work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submissions are welcome in any of the areas related to aspects of Information Retrieval and should be up to 6 pages in length plus additional pages for references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both replicability and reproducibility papers, we expect authors to provide all materials required for repeating the tests performed, including code, data, and clear instructions on how to run the experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Submission Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Authors should consult Springer\u2019s&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"ftp:\/\/ftp.springernature.com\/cs-proceeding\/svproc\/guidelines\/Springer_Guidelines_for_Authors_of_Proceedings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">authors\u2019 guidelines<\/a>&nbsp;and use their proceedings templates, either for&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"ftp:\/\/ftp.springernature.com\/cs-proceeding\/llncs\/llncs2e.zip\" target=\"_blank\">LaTeX<\/a>&nbsp;or for&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"ftp:\/\/ftp.springernature.com\/cs-proceeding\/llncs\/word\/splnproc1703.zip\" target=\"_blank\">Word<\/a>, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/hbsa4D\" target=\"_blank\">ORCIDs<\/a>&nbsp;in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All submissions must be written in English. Authors should consult ECIR&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/irsg.bcs.org\/proceedings\/ECIR_Draft_Guidelines.pdf\">paper guidelines<\/a> and Fuhr\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/sigir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/p032.pdf\">guide to avoid common IR evaluation mistakes<\/a>, for the preparation of their papers. All papers should be submitted electronically through the conference <a href=\"https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=ecir2020\">submission system<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full papers (e.g. main paper track) are up to 12 pages in length plus additional pages for references, short papers track and reproducibility track are up to 6 pages in length plus additional pages for references, and demonstration papers are to be 4 pages in length plus additional pages for references. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full paper and short paper submissions will be refereed through double-blind peer review. Demonstration and Reproducibility papers will undergo single-blind review. Accepted full papers, short papers, reproducibility papers, and demo papers will be published in the conference proceedings published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the conference. Accepted full papers, reproducibility papers, short papers, and demos papers will have to be presented at the conference\u2013and at least one author will be required to register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">I<br>Reproducibility submission: <s>15 October<\/s> 20 October 2019, 11:59 pm (AoE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">I<br>Notification: <s>6 December 2019<\/s>&nbsp;9 December 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">I<br>Camera-ready copy: <s>27 December 2019<\/s> 20 January 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workshops and tutorials: 14 April 2020<br>Main Conference: 15-17 April 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Reproducibility Track Chairs (reproducibility_at_ecir2020.org)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Edleno Moura<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pavel Calado<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Conference on Information Retrieval is the prime European forum for the presentation of original research in the field of Information Retrieval.
